The 3.0mm Biomet Cannulated Screw System consists of bone screws of various lengths and are Ti alloy partially threaded screws with the associated 3.0mm washer. They are offered in both a sterile and non-sterile configuration. The 3.0mm Biomet Cannulated Screw System also contains dimensionally optimized corresponding instruments which are used with the 3.0mm Biomet Cannulated Screws and washers to aid in the alignment and stabilization of fractures to the skeletal system.
This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called the "3.0mm Biomet Cannulated Screw System." It seeks to demonstrate substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices, not necessarily to prove specific performance criteria against predefined thresholds.
Therefore, the requested information elements related to acceptance criteria and a study proving those criteria are not directly applicable or available in this specific type of regulatory submission document. This document focuses on demonstrating that the new device is as safe and effective as a previously cleared device.
However, I can extract the relevant information from the document as it pertains to the basis for substantial equivalence, which includes some performance data.
Here's a breakdown based on your request, as much as can be derived from the provided text:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
This document does not specify formal "acceptance criteria" for clinical performance that would typically be seen in a clinical trial. Instead, the performance is compared against predicate devices to demonstrate substantial equivalence. The non-clinical tests indicate that the new device's performance is "equal to or better than the predicate devices."
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Acceptance Criteria (Implicit from Equivalence) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Torsional Strength | Comparable to or better than predicate devices (e.g., FRS screw K062352, DartFire screw K082320). | Equal to or better torsional yield strength than predicate screws. |
| Axial Pullout Strength | Comparable to or better than predicate devices. | Equal to or better than predicate devices. |
| Insertion/Removal Torque | Comparable to or better than predicate devices. | Equal to or better than predicate devices. |
| Material | Same material (Ti-6Al-4V alloy per ASTM F136) as K140891, and similar to K082874 and K962823 predicate devices. | Identical to K140891, similar to K082874 and K962823. |
| Design Features | Similar in design and dimension to K140891 (line extension), and similar to K082874 and K962823 predicate devices. | Similar to K140891, K082874, and K962823. |
| Sterilization | Identical to K140891, and similar to K082874 and K962823 predicate devices. | Identical to K140891, similar to K082874 and K962823. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not specified. The non-clinical tests were conducted per ASTM F543, which specifies testing methodologies, but the sample size used for these specific tests is not provided in this summary.
- Data Provenance: Not specified, but generally, bench testing (non-clinical) occurs in a lab setting, not tied to patient data. Since no clinical studies were performed, there is no patient data provenance to report.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
- Not applicable. This device underwent non-clinical (bench) testing, not clinical studies requiring expert ground truth establishment.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not applicable. This was bench testing, not a clinical study involving human judgment or adjudication.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
- No. This is a bone fixation screw system, not an AI/imaging device. Therefore, no MRMC study or AI assistance evaluation was performed.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not applicable. This is a physical medical device (bone screw), not an algorithm or software.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- For the non-clinical tests, the "ground truth" or reference for performance was established by standardized mechanical testing methodologies (ASTM F543) and comparison to the performance of legally marketed predicate devices. There is no clinical ground truth (like pathology or outcomes data) mentioned because no clinical studies were performed.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not a machine learning algorithm that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable. As above, this is not a machine learning algorithm.

Summary of Technological Characteristics
The rationale for substantial equivalence is based on consideration of the following technological characteristics:
- Materials: The Biomet Cannulated Screw System screws and washers are fabricated from Ti-6Al-4V alloy per ASTM F136. The materials used in the 3.0mm Biomet Cannulated Screw System are identical to those used in K140891, and similar to those used in K082874, and K962823.
- Design Features: The 3.0mm Biomet Cannulated Screws are similar in design and dimension to the Biomet Cannulated Screw System cleared via K140891 and are considered a line extension. The design of the subject device is similar to those cleared in K082874 and K962823.
- . Sterilization: The sterilization configurations of the 3.0mm Biomet Cannulated Screw System is identical to that of the Biomet Cannulated Screw System cleared via K140891. The sterilization configurations are similar to that of the devices cleared via K082874 and K962823.
Summary of Performance Data (Nonclinical and/or Clinical)
- . Non-Clinical Tests
- Non-clinical performance testing included torsional, axial pullout and o insertion/removal torque mechanical tests per ASTM F543. The axial pullout and insertion/removal torque values were equal to or better than the predicate devices. Engineering analysis of the torsional yield strengths demonstrated that the 3.0mm Biomet Cannulated Screws have equal to or better torsional yield strength than the predicate screws including the FRS screw (K062352) and the DartFire screw (K082320). Results of bench testing in conjunction with engineering analysis indicate that the subject screws are substantially equivalent to legally marketed devices offering a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness.
- Clinical Tests
- None provided as a basis for substantial equivalence. o
Substantial Equivalence Conclusion
The 3.0mm Biomet Cannulated Screw System is substantially equivalent to the commercially available Biomet Cannulated Screw System cleared via K140891, as well as the devices cleared via K082874, K082320, K062352 and K962823.
§ 888.3040 Smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener.
(a)
Identification. A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.
